“When we first implemented the Labor Cost Dashboard in our facilities, we noticed discrepancies in picking immediately. We were fulfilling orders for a client in two different facilities, but the cost per package was higher in one warehouse than the other. Why?” Rubin asked. “Our team was then able to take steps to align the two and now, we’ve lowered the cost per package, and that client is more profitable.
“These kinds of insights set Labor Cost Dashboard apart from simply knowing your labor costs and dividing by the number of packages you ship daily. These are actionable pieces of data you need to know to optimize profitability,” Rubin added.
